Re: [LUG] Scanning problems...

[Rick Timmis <rick@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Now at some point I am going to be forced to get involved with this 
Scanners stuff, which true the the film is likely to be a horror, 
however as of this point I can only point you in the direction of Linux 
Format Nov issue which has an article dealing with the maigc art of 
scanners an Sane.

Have you tried the LDP ( Linux Documentation Project ) ?

Sotry  I can't be of more help but someone else here will
